Research shows that the amount of time spent in meetings increased 26 percent in 2020, cumulatively equating to 24 full days a year. Not every office is equipped to provide the ideal meeting room for staff to collaborate in. This can make meetings feel disconnected, causing a decline in performance and lack of engagement. Here is a guide to the benefits of renting a meeting space and what it can do for your company.  

Why You Should Rent a Meeting Space 

1. Create Synergy

With the pandemic, it's possible that some, if not all, of your current employees work remotely. Gathering them together under one roof for a meeting is a great way to generate synergy and collaboration. When employees feel more connected to their role and coworkers, it creates a better sense of purpose and connection which is reflected in their performance. 

2. Space for Everyone

Your office may not be designed to accommodate a company meeting for all of your employees to attend at one time. Past meetings may have required some staff members to stand or go without a note-taking space, causing them to become irritable or inattentive. A room that has enough space for all attendees to be comfortable makes staff feel equally important and more likely to take their role seriously. 

3. Additional Amenities

When you opt to utilize a meeting room, you will have access to amenities you might not have in the office. For example, some rental spaces may include access to a smartboard, plasma screens, or LCD projectors. Additionally, a meeting room in a hotel may offer services like beverage service or a breakfast bar, which makes the meeting a little more enjoyable and accommodating for everyone.

4. Set the Tone

When you opt to take your meetings offsite, you are creating an ambiance of professionalism among your employees. Whether it's a meeting for 5 or 50, the formal setup will take your employees out of their typical environments, encouraging them to focus and stay engaged. An office atmosphere can become relaxed and distracting and a new meeting space may increase productivity.
